A History of Bad-Assery: Rebel Heroines and the Heroes Who Love Them

Hi Everyone:

Here’s a piece I did for Heroes and Heartbreakers on the tradition of wicked heroines in fiction. Enjoy!

Today we’re thrilled to welcome Anna Bradley to Heroes and Heartbreakers. Anna’s debut romance novel, A Wicked Way to Win an Earl, was released on November 3. Like many of
us, Anna loves a badass heroine. However, have you ever thought where did all the badassness come from? How did we get to have so many great, self-actualized, strong, powerful women? Elizabeth Bennet… okay, not just Lizzie, but Anna is here today to explain the history of the badass heroine and who we have to thank for her. Thanks, Anna!
